[the trio made their way to the royal gardens, n settled on a slightly open field, with Hater closely following behind in secret]
Grimm: I think this is a good spot
Wander: Great! Lemme set the place up, u guys chat away, don't mind me :D
Terrance: (sits across from Grimm) :$
Hater: (kept in hiding)
Grimm: [rubbed the bk of his neck sheepishly] So, uh, ur from Planet Lizardran, u say? Which galaxy is that from?
Terrance: The 7th Galaxy.
Grimm: Wow, that's pretty far. Umm, so wat made u wanna join this suitors' ceremony?
Terrance: My family... :(
Grimm: Why? Wat abt ur family? Don't u hv ur own thing bk at ur planet regarding marriages?
Terrance: Some of us do, but my parents... they're the kind that feel like they have the right to control my fate. Have me marry someone I just met... I mean you seem nice but I don't want to go into marriage right away if I end up winning this...
Grimm: Tbh, I'm not too happy abt this either, bt it's our royal custom apparently. I prefer to marry out of love, not out of obligation. Bt again, if I were to be even honest, I think... I think I might hv found the one, even if it's thru this unconventional method... :$ [blushed as he stared into Terrance's eyes]
Terrance: :$
Hater: (smirk)
Grimm: Well if u do win this, I plan to hv us on a long engagement, get to know each other even more before we decide to officially tie the knot. Bt lemme say tht I... I intend to let u win... [takes his hands gently]
Terrance: (flushes even more) I...I hope I win too... :)
Grimm: :)
Wander: Oh guys~ Picnic is ready! :D
Terrance: :) SHall we?
Grimm: We shall :) [leads Terrance to the picnic mat where the picnic food is all spread out]
Wander: Take ur pick. Made these especially for the two of u, n a little something for myself [stacks some sandwiches with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese n eggs] Mmm~ :p
Terrance: (takes a sandwich) :)
Grimm: [takes a Subway sandwich n ate]
[The trio sat together, eating n making small talk, with Hater keeping watch of the surroundings while listening in to their conversation]
Grimm: So, wats ur deal with my bro?
Wander: Wat do u mean?
Terrance: You and him seem pretty close to each other.
Hater: (still in hiding) :o
Wander: Well, of course we're close. We're best buds! We even have matching pendants [shows his half of the pendant] I do hope he's wearing his half tho :D
Grimm: [snorts] U sure u two don't hv something more than tht? (smirk)
Hater: >///<
Terrance: Are you sure it isn't something more then friends? (giggle)
Wander: We're just BFFs, nothing more. I mean, he wouldn't want me anyways, I'm always traveling the world, he's always conquering the world, he's sorta evil, n I'm good. I mean I know there's some good in him, bt I can't force him to change. N besides Sylvia doesn't like him, so there's that
Grimm: Sylvia? U mean the zbornak always hanging ard with u?
Wander: Yup, that's her. My best buddy as well
Terrance: But have you considered maybe he's feeling more then 'hate' towards you?
Hater: :(
Wander: Hmm... (think) I dunno, maybe. I figured deep dwn he's just insecure abt stuff, bt I can't force him to change his feelings for me. Even if it's just a one-sided thing, I'm happy to be best buds with him :)
Grimm: U know, maybe--
??: Wat's this? A picnic n u didn't invite me? Sire, I'm hurt
Hater: ?
Terrance: :o huh?
[it was the humanoid peacock, coming in from the opposite direction of where Hater was supposed to keep watch]
Grimm: Oh, Drizelda, it's u. Wat r u doing here?
Drizelda: I'm just here to admire ur gardens n maybe catch a little fresh air n some sun. How lucky I am to find u here [parks herself btwn Terrance n Grimm] Hello, my fellow competitors [smiled at Wander n Terrance, tho her smile was insincere] I hope ur not thinking of trying to monopolize our Lord in order to get ahead of the race. Lord Grimm is fair game, u knw
Terrance: B-but...
Hater: :| (thinks; bitch)
Wander: I'm sorry, bt its a private picnic btwn me, Terry n Grimmy. U shouldn't barge in unannounced
Drizelda: We're going by nicknames now, aren't we? Arent u just so sweet n close to Lord Grimm here? Like I said, its fair game, n everyone gets to pitch in to be courted by Lord Grimm. Ur not trying to play favourites, are u, Lord Grimm? U do play fair, right, just wat u said abt poor dear Morella abt fighting fair? (smirk)
Grimm: Well, no, I'm not bt...
Drizelda: Then tht's settled. I'm joining u. The more the merrier, right? Wat do we hv? [sees the picnic basket] Ugh, sandwiches? These r commoner food. Don't u hv caviar n wine? :^)
Terrance: Hey. :| He's not interested to talk to you right now, so please leave.
Wander: [was impressed with Terrance finally standing up for himself, bt secretly did some sort of hand signal to alert Hater to do something]
Grimm: Guys, pls don't...
Drizelda: Huh, looks like lizard boy here finally grew some balls. U might wanna be careful wen u talk to me. U nvr knw wen--
Terrance: (inhaled and spat a lime green slime in her face)
Hater: :O whoa.
Wander: :O
Grimm: :O
Drizelda: >_< Ack! Wat the--?? Ugh! Tht does it! This means war! U haven't seen the last of me! [grabbed a napkin frm the stack in the basket n stomped off, purposely shoving Terrance away as she did]
Terrance: Oof. (shook it off) Well... that's what she gets. (smirk) (to Grimm) That's not going to get me eliminated is it? (worry)
Grimm: [snapped out of it] N-No, of course not. She was being a little annoying bt u prolly might've made an enemy out of her. I'm more worried abt u
Wander: Didn't knw u had it in u. Wat was tht?
Terrance: That? It's what you might call a form of defense. ^^;;
Grimm: It's not gonna kill her or make her blind or anything, right? I'd hate for u to get in trouble bcoz of tht
Terrance: Blind for a little bit but it'll wear off. (nod)
Wander: If I didn't knw better, u were a pretty badass wen u want to, Terry :D
Terrance: Well, yes, maybe. :$
Grimm: Shall we continue our picnic before we were rudely interrupted? ;)
Wander: Oh yeah, totally, bt don't mind me. I'm gonna go pick some flowers for my room. I'll brb [sneaked off to go see Hater] Is she gone? Tht mean peacock lady?
Hater: Yeah she's gone.
Wander: Geez, I figured competition is tight, bt I didn't expect it to be tht tight :(
Hater: It's what happens when it comes to royalty.
Wander: I hope nothing happens to Terry. She seems like a pretty mean person
Hater: I've got his back if Grimm's not around to do so.
Wander: That's good. I better get bk to the picnic before they wonder where am I (wave) [made his way bk to the picnic]
Hater: (wave) Cya.
